This is the home of PopApostle's
studies of Buckaroo Banzai, the 1984 cult classic
film, novel and various Moonstone Comics stories. I will be presenting my studies relating to
each, such as commentary on the science described, sound bits of memorable
dialog, screen grabs and my own musings. I'll be presenting them in my estimation of the chronological order
each story takes place.

Although
there are no television "episodes" in the Buckaroo Banzai canon, I am continuing to use the
term "episode" as I have elsewhere on PopApostle, as a separable piece in the
continuous narrative of a larger story.
